Summary
With Dennis Schröder and Thomas Bryant set to return, Darvin Ham will have decisions to make on how he shifts his rotations in order to accommodate them -- or if he does so at all. Pete, Mike, and Darius discuss the skill sets of both players, how they envision them fitting into the rotation, and how the limitations of each player battles against the different looks both can offer a team still seeking the right player combinations to be the best team they can and greater than the sum of their parts.

| 0:00.0 | What do you think about the Laker team now? |
| 0:03.4 | You follow the box scores of the games every day? |
| 0:06.0 | Just the Lakers. |
| 0:07.3 | You're kidding. |
| 0:08.6 | That is really a compliment. |
| 0:12.8 | I was pleased to see you smile at the top bar show because once the game starts, you have a game face. |
| 0:17.8 | You don't smile much out there. |
| 0:20.4 | I don't think you have to do things for money anymore. |
| 0:22.9 | Correct. |
| 0:23.5 | What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Film Room podcast, brought you by the Blue Wire Podcast Network. |
| 0:27.9 | I'm Pete, joined by Darius and Mike. And in this week without Lakers basketball, a lot of our |
| 0:33.4 | conversations have been kind of a different version of the same conversation, which is how do |
| 0:37.4 | these guys fit together? And Lakers have two players who are set to make their season debut, hopefully on Friday, in Dennis Schroeder and Thomas Bryant. And so we're going to talk about them today. To zoom out for a second, I think these conversations are especially important, important right now. They're not something that we're |
| 0:54.6 | going to have, I think, the entirety of the season. But for two reasons. One, it's simply our record. |
| 0:59.4 | We're three in ten. And we're about two and a half games back from the pack in cycling in the |
| 1:05.8 | Tour de France. I think they call it the Peloton, right? The whole big group of bicyclists where |
| 1:10.4 | whether you're in the front or in the back, it only matters a little bit because you're so closely packed together that that's where the bulk of the racers are. That's kind of what the Western Conference looks like right now. A lot of teams are two and a half games back of that number one seed, very compact. And so we need a couple of wins in the meantime, right? We've got games against Detroit |
| 1:28.2 | on Friday. We've got three games against San Antonio coming up, some winnable games. But also in a |
| 1:33.7 | more 10,000 foot view, by all indications, this is an evaluative period, D, where the Lakers |
| 1:40.3 | want to give 20, 25 games to see what the roster is, see what moves need to be made, if any. |
| 1:47.1 | And Dennis and TB are the last two guys within that where we don't know. |
| 1:51.9 | And so let's start in the back court with Dennis. |
